Is the ultimate Range Rover Sport the ultimate fast SUV?
They say you never get a second chance at a first impression and, whether favourable or otherwise, there’ll be no forgetting the first time eyes meet . In black with matching 23-inch wheels , it’s moody to the point of glowering. And enormous. Of its many attributes, would never be called timid or unassuming; in the grand scheme of things it isn’t, but against a sinister new 635hp top dog it may as well be a Freelander.
Never have they rode like this; never have they steered like this; never has a Range Rover bristled with such unbridled intent, apparently exclusively focused on going searingly fast at any opportunity. As, the old SVR was a very agreeable sparring partner, all big-hearted supercharged silliness and devil-may-care dynamics; even on a run to the train station, the SV is an Olympic coach in comparison, slack-free, taut and alert.
It does mean the SV can’t quite compete on the easygoing charm like the old car, because it won’t burble at a bimble or lope along like a muscle car. It undoubtedly rides supremely well for a car on 23-inch wheels , somehow being plush and subdued while never abandoning the underlying tautness. You’ll try SV mode on the road, only to be as put off by the illuminated gear shift paddles as the brusqueness of the ride, and leave it again. One for the track day, perhaps.
That the SV can do this, corner like it’s some rally-bred hot hatch and accelerate like an M5, while also retaining so many of the favourable characteristics that mark out the standard Sport, really elevates it to special status. Maybe we won’t all lust over £170k Range Rovers that you’d never take any further off-road than the beer festival car park, but as a demonstration of whatbe achieved, it’s hard not to be hugely impressed.
